Vice City is the top dog

The market power of Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto franchise has conquered all yet again this week, with the latest instalment, Vice City Stories, shunting Ubisoft’s Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 off the top of the ChartTrack All Formats Top 40.

It was a close run race, however, with only 200 unit sales between the two games.

Ubisoft’s shooter still manages to claim second spot in the Top Ten this week, just ahead of Square Enix’s PS2 RPG Final Fantasy XII, which falls one spot to third place. Sega’s Sonic and the Secret Rings, meanwhile, holds firm in fourth place.
